Contextual Overview
14 After John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, and proclaimed the tidings, of the kingdom of God, 15 and said: The time is completed, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent ye, and believe the tidings. 16 And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 18 And immediately they left their nets, and went after him. 19 And as he passed on a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in a ship, and mending their nets. 20 And he called them: and immediately they left Zebedee their father in the ship, with the hired servants, and went after him. 21 And when they entered Capernaum, he immediately taught on the sabbath in their synagogues. 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine; for he taught them, as having authority, and not as their Scribes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jesus said unto them, come ye after me,.... Leave your worldly employments, and become my disciples,
and I will make you to become fishers of men: which will be a much more excellent and honourable employment, as men, and the souls of men, are more excellent, and of more worth than fishes;
